I understand firefox is free software and greatly customisable. I think forks like LibreWolf are fantastic. But I believe the FOSS community needs to be more critical of mozilla. They haven’t been the sharpest tool in the drawer for a while…

Do you have a guide you can recommend for Lemmy users who are not that aware of the settings mentioned in the second paragraph but would like to be?

Not exactly a guide but there is this wonderful github repo.

Some advice to give it a try: Open firefox (desktop only) in the search box type about:profiles and create a new profile to put the user.js in without affecting your main profile.

This github repo is rather complex and there is alot to read and grasp, but it’s a very good starting point to harden your firefox.

You can also give a look at the arkenfox user.js.

Those are complex user.js but you can produce your own with the tweaks you need, in case you need video confercence or what else.

Thanks a lot! I’ll take a look and learn something new
